Johnny Manziel's NFL suspension is a PR victory because it keeps him relevant

He got suspended by the NFL for four games. And you know what? That's a great thing for him to have happen because Johnny Manziel, for the first time in a few months, is being talked about in the same sentence as the NFL... It's all good news when the NFL is suspending you because that means you still have a little bit of relevancy.

This is a subjective interpretation of PR value, though Manziel never actually played in the NFL again.

I have a .001% chance of blacking out and eating 80 hot dogs at the Nathan's contest

I also, .001% chance, I think I could just black out and eat 80 hot dogs.

Big Cat did not eat 80 hot dogs; Joey Chestnut's record at the time was 69.

Big Cat will fail to hit double digits in the hot dog contest; the over-under should be 7.5

I'd be shocked if you hit double digits. I would say that the over-under should be set at about seven and a half.

Big Cat managed to hit 10, so PFT's prediction that he wouldn't hit double digits was incorrect.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.
